> however we went ahead and made a manual payment covering all the outstanding amount + extra
(the entire last paragraph of OPs text has those and more details)
I suggest not using and then arguing with and against fantasized stuff when we are talking about a concrete problem for which we have a concrete description, no?
Given that OP paid, of what use is your objection about non-paying customers here?
You also omit this important part:
> They ... assured the project will not be suspended.

That's fair enough - somehow I completely misread/understood that part of the post. But my main point was that you should never be using credit cards for services that you rely on - particularly when billing/payment is automated and hidden from you. Credit card payments and checks fail regularly (10%+ for recurring payment charges) for legitimate (you don't have funds) and less legitimate reasons (a banks AI system thinking the charge looks fraudulent due to something outside of your account etc). Vendors are likely to stop the service as soon as they can get away with so they don't loose money.
- snowwrestler 4y agoA “manual” payment on GCP is usually still by credit card. You just set the amount by hand and hit submit, instead of the scheduled auto-bill.
